The High Scardus Trail is a transnational hiking trail through the picturesque landscapes of Albania, Kosovo and Northern Macedonia. This trek offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich biodiversity and natural heritage of the Balkans. It covers some 495 kilometers and can be covered in twenty daily stages, passing through some of the most isolated and authentic villages in the “colore” mountains.
The hikes will take you to heights such as Mount Korab, the highest peak in Albania and Macedonia, then on to the Shebenik-Jabllanice National Park to explore its unique flora and fauna, and on to the Unesco-protected Lake Ohrid, ending at Prespa, a mythological lake 800 m above sea level.
The High Scardus Trail is ideal for those looking for a unique and rewarding hiking experience, in contact with nature and local people in an unspoilt natural environment.
